The Right Nutrition Will Help Your Kidneys

The science is clear that nutrition therapy is effective for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Plant-based diets, in particular, have been shown to help slow the progression of CKD and delay the time to dialysis. Eating a diet that is right for your kidneys from now on gives you a good chance of preserving greater kidney function and living a healthier, more energetic life.

There are No Forbidden Foods

There are no absolute rules when it comes to a kidney-friendly diet. What works for your body is different from others and is based on your genetics, the stage and type of your disease, and your other conditions. If you're trying to follow a generic list of dietary guidelines, you may be missing key info and unnecessarily cutting out your favorite foods.

I'm Batina Timmons, MS, RDN, and I've helped hundreds of people slow their Chronic Kidney Disease, preserve kidney function, and delay dialysis using customized nutrition therapies.

Google Review

Thank you, Batina, for helping my husband slow the progress of his end-stage renal disease long enough so that he could get a kidney transplant without having to go on dialysis. Next month, we'll be celebrating his 5-year re-birthday! Nutrition guidance for renal disease is very specialized. As a fellow dietetics professional, I knew that I needed to connect with an expert in the field to help with his diet. We remain grateful to you for being that expert.

Stages 3-5

The earlier we start the better, but no matter what your stage or if you have other conditions like diabetes or hypertension, a custom kidney-friendly eating plan can help slow and manage your Chronic Kidney Disease.

Autoimmune Kidney Disease

If you're managing Lupus Nephritis, IgA Nephropathy, or another autoimmune condition that affects your kidneys, nutrition is doubly important. A functional nutrition approach can ease the burden on your kidneys while improving your underlying autoimmunity.

Why a Personal Action Plan is So Important

Many organizations, like the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the American Kidney Fund (AKF), offer detailed information on managing CKD, but also advise consulting with a renal dietitian.

This is because diet is critical to managing Chronic Kidney Disease and it's important not to wing it.

A Personal Action Plan to Preserve your Kidneys is:
